Attached is a list of nominations for appointment to
various boards and commissions that I have transmitted to the Council
over the past several months that are pending before the Council. As my
Administration is winding down, I have decided in deference to the
incoming Mayor to defer making some new appointments. Thus, I am
withdrawing the nominations specified in the attachment, effective
today.

However, to ensure that the necessary operations of the
District government continue with as few major interruptions as
possible, I may still exercise my prerogative to submit a nomination to
the Council for appointment to a board or commission that may be
experiencing or will experience quorum problems prior to the end of the
year. I will also consult with the incoming Mayor in those instances.

MAYORAL NOMINATIONS TO BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS CURRENTLY PENDING BEFORE
THE COUNCIL OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
THAT ARE NOT BEING WITHDRAWN DUE TO A NEED TO MAINTAIN A QUORUM AND AN ABILITY TO CONTINUE OPERATING EFFECTIVELY
UNTIL THE END OF CALENDAR YEAR 2006

4. Will be Deemed Confirmed by Council on Saturday,
November 4, 2006. Board currently has only three (3) members.

5. This is a three (3) member commission. In late July 2006,
1 member resigned to take another position and the former chairperson
retired and subsequently passed away. A full commission is needed to
operate.
